How Singapore Built a Stable Society
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 вер 2020
- Singapore suffered from race riots sparked by deep political and economic differences in 1964, tensions that contributed to the decision to separate from Malaysia in 1965. To avoid the mistakes of the past, the Singaporean government entrenched multiracialism in its major national policies, from education, housing, politics to community development. These policies have helped build a fairly harmonious society and laid foundations for Singapore to become a global economic powerhouse.

Well done Singapore. There's no perfect system that makes everyone satisfied, but Singapore has really done a great job in achieving this harmony.

Yes, agree. There will always be critics and narratives on either side: segregation or assimilation, racial unity or cultural genocide, freedom of the press or preventing disinformation, authoritarianism and social stability or liberal democracy and potential social instability. I think the only thing that leaders of a country can do is listen to the criticism but evaluate its merits, and its outcomes will justify if the leaders have made the correct decisions or not. Singapore is one of the few to have the resolute determination to chart its own path and not simply accepting governance advice from others.

Singapore is really weird. On paper it's an almost authoritarian regime that doesn't seem to have too much reigns on it, but when actual time comes for them to do their jobs, they do it better than just about every nation in Asia as far as I can see. Thanks for the interesting video.

But guess what.
He and people like him get stabbed in the back and the CCP started to undo what he had done, claim his credits and mess up the administrative system to the point where state president (even city presidents) are basically kings in their own domain.
They assassinated or arrested people who built the successful system and take their position without skill and knowledge of said position.
Now their economy is collapsing, they are only able to stabalised by media censorship (at this point is basically deleting everything in internet and upload fake stuff they want citizens to read) and robbing from their citizens.
The property economy collapse is something the CCP can easily solve with a little bit of bleeding
But guess what they do?
They decide to let the involved citizen pay for the cost and guess what happens?
The house of cards collapse when the banks just can't handle it anymore.
They blame on a person who scam citizens using a fliping STATE BANK.

I couldnt care less abt singapore’s history back in school, but now im learning to appreciate LKY’s goal and wisdom in creating a peaceful country amidst all these instability of the world, especially now.
Lee Kuan Yew did the right thing. I’m a Malaysian and sadly racism is a still a thing today because of uneducated politicians. Most Malaysians (Malay, Chinese, Indian, Indigenous) have already live harmoniously but there are still a group of Malay that are still very racist because they were influenced politically. If you have access to Malaysian secondary school history textbook, they interpret Lee Kuan Yew as a threat to the sovereignty of Malaysia and the Malay race so Abdul Rahman (1st Malaysian prime minister) expelled Singapore from Malaysia federation in order to protect the sovereignty of Malay and Malaysia. But you can see for yourself the difference between a diversify Singapore and Malay dominated Malaysia. FYI Malaysia is still imposing the Malay only prime minister rule.
Luckly they expel..even singapore passport look like china.. malay they dont dislike chinese bcs of race they dislike communist..its sentiment..you should grateful live among malay..not faced"asian racism"like in america..you think they care if you singaporean or malaysia..your face look chinese..its normal if malay want their country ruled by malay..bcs they dominant..still they allowed other race voice out their thought and feeling allowed involve in cabinet give money or facility for vernacular school which stupid country want to do that hah??which dominat allowed that tolerance?if you live in india..your race chinese..100% they hate you😂or malay in dominat race in china you think they can be like you in malaysia or singapore without face racism??..no right?so be grateful.
@@GardeniaInc this is not about grateful or not. The problem is with the political racism. You need to understand China and India are different from Malaysia and Singapore. Their race are like 80-90 percent are the same whereas Malaysia and Singapore race percentage are high among races. For example 40% Malay, 25% Chinese, 15% Indian and 10% Indigenous races. You can’t compare China and India with Singapore and Malaysia. If you’re in Malaysia you will know how racist the politicians are. The Asian racism in America are driven by the covid pandemic and the racist Donald Trump administration. You also need to understand that Malaysia is a federation which is join by Sarawak and Sabah so if you say that Malaysia is Malay dominant you are totally wrong. One more thing, do not put Chinese and communist as one cause that statement is very racist and you need to know that most Chinese people fled China because of the Japanese occupation and oppression from the China communist party.

Growing up in a diverse school was so brilliant for me, I wish everyone could have the same experience and never fall prey to the poison that is racism.
I was merely a teenager in the 1970s in Malaysia when the medium of instruction was still in English.Even then, the various races comprising Chinese, Malays and Indians did not totally mix with each other. The Tamils with Tamils, the Cantonese Chinese with themselves and the Malays with their own kind.
So glad Singapore got kicked out and with that, could progress to the nation that it is now. Yes, definitely Singapore is not perfect, and they don’t pretend that it is as well, but is definitely always on an upward forward trend.

Actually it's the reverse at least based on the history I learnt in school
How about Little India Riot of 2013? :) The alcohol ban was quite annoying.
I think LKY's determination to establish a multiracial nation and to really put it into action paved the way to this admirable socio-cultural harmony. US could learn a thing or two.
Tell that to the rich, White supremacist, Black supremacist, and other racist organizations
He achieved it through authoritarian means. Social engineering is a pretty difficult thing to pull off without coercion. A lot of it isn’t even legally possible in the US.
But it could be undone given the current jelly gahmen. Extremism ideologies creeping in and they still shaking leg.

That just tragic
@@guy6390 blame the british, they caused all of this because of their Divide and Conquer tactic. Basically dividing all races from each other so they cant interact thus making tensions rise. But I think we're okay now, they are some ppl who are racists(cant deny it) but its surely much better than back then. I just want everyone to be happy no matter who they are man. Love for all.

@A M all of the ethnics there are getting targeted
@A M Ever heard about divide and conquer?
I'm an expat here from Malaysia. And i much prefer the stability here and the environment is much more productive.
The policy treat all the races equally and enjoy the same opportunity for country's growth is a way for country to progress strongly and successful in the world.
This is how it should be done. I know some people will call it social engineering but in my opinion human beings are flawed creatures, so you can either accept it and deal with it head on or deny it and deal with the negative outcomes of it. Bravo Singapore…
lmao
It's a bit tough - I think that Singapore has a few unique characteristics that make this exceedingly difficult to pull off anywhere else, starting with the fact that Singapore post-independence began constructing public housing extensively. At that time most Singaporeans were varying levels of poor, and a huge amount of people were resettled, sometimes coercively. I can't see that taking place in many countries nowadays.
@Princip Mondesir Whichever country you go to, there is always an income gap, what varies is how the income gap presents itself.
Social engineering is not inherently evil. It's just a way to create a better working society. If that goes too far, we have a problem, obviously.
@Princip Mondesir damn, someone's salty
Answer: Strong and Involved Governments combined with Enforced Policies and No-bullshit Attitude. Also everyone have relative freedom instead of total freedom, so no one could think or act as they see fit. Everyone should follow Government's guidelines.

Racial harmony shouldn't be taken for granted! In Singapore they work at it every day.
Something America needs to learn, you can't just say to minority groups we gave you a vote and ended slavery, we all equal now. When you still have population segregation, wealth and education inequality, and bias in job hiring, and most importantly a fair police and criminal justice system.
America needs to work at it every day too.

Incorruptible leader and policing. We have to accept that in race no one is equal but only the law of the land makes them equal. The government should always be on top to govern and intervene with integrity and transparency.
Tbh in the medium to long term it is an unstable, expensive and dangerous social strategy to tolerate/promote multiculturalism (as well as to maintain it). Although singapore did not have a choice in the matter, I think every country should try to reduce the amount of non-internal outside cultures and ethnic groups from integrating into the country as it produces many advantages such as:
1. It will reinforce and solidify the social harmony fairly indefinitely.
2. Will compel citizens and governments to allocate as much money, effort, time and resources into maintaining and developing the economy (instead of wasting money on social issues they can allocate money to more efficient and economically sustainable projects or ventures).
3. They can become more cohesively united and so can execute economic and social reforms more effectively (less social challenges and a healthy environment for proper development is usually hindered by multiculturalism.
4. Reforms can be strictly implemented to improve the quality of education and life of one internal population without neglecting another population (which will get the economy rolling, solidify it's foundations and totally prevent any racial discriminarion from arising; as there will be a lack of racial diversity).

Bloomberg has not covered the full spectrum of racial harmony in Singapore. They forgot to mention, and equally important too, how national service which forces young men of all races to serve in compulsory military service for 3 years (then) played a huge role on getting Singaporeans to build up their understanding of each other. Even more so and important was that during the riots of 1969, this multi-racial was deployed for the first time to enforce the curfew which was of great significance - the generations of young and multi racial Singaporeans have to defend what this new nation was to be, one that is multi cultural and multi racial. They had to make this nation work.
Fun fact: Singapore racial riot wasn't caused by Singaporeans or the local people at that time. It was manipulated by other Countries..
I read an article that the 1964 Race Riot in Singapore was initiated by an Indonesian who had links with Suharto regime.
Singapore's then prime minister Lee Kuan Yew was more friendly to Suharto though, at least partially because the latter was disinterested & thus ended the guerrilla warfare against Malaysia that was part of the Malaysian-Indonesian Confrontation ( _Konfrontasi_ ) initiated by his predecessor ( _Sukarno_ , whom he overthrew, and whom was furious that Singapore, Sabah & Sarawak had merged with Malaya (present-day peninsular/western Malaysia) instead of with Indonesia)
@@lzh4950 Sukarno was a socialist mindset aligned with USSR wanted spread the ideology to Malaysia. The West saw this as a threat to them, so the CIA backed Suharto for the coup, then came along with communist purge. Many innocent Indonesian Chinese died in this massacre.

it's more of an indoctrination; every child born in singapore has to recite "regardless of race, language or religion" every morning, 5 days a week, for 10 years.
That sort of indoctrination has no effect and is harmless regardless. The most common use of indoctrination is racism. The best way to teach people is to give them a hands-on experience, like having quotas in public housing.
Still better than pledging allegiance to a flag.
No one cares about the pledge lol. We all are still racist we just dont show or act on it

So.. to fix racial tension according to Singapore you:
- Force mixed racial groups together in public housing
- Force mixed racial groups in public schools
- Establish national racial harmonic holidays
- Force a tax that funds racial support groups that citizens can choose
- Desegregate traditional neighborhoods such as suburbs
- Establish one homogeneous language that everyone must use
- Include politic policies that force racial diversity
That sounds like Liberals and their Diversity Quotas.
Well.. you can't please everyone.

Scale... it is about scale
@Scumfuck McDoucheface haha
Politically, a similar system exists in Lebanon (the Parliament should be split equally between Christians and Muslims for example). Only it contributed to corruption, communitarianism, and the current crisis, unlike in Singapore...
There’s a reason why Singapore is one the richest and forward thinking nations. I’m not suggesting it’s a utopian dream or that Singapore is the be all and end all; it realised that its biggest asset was its citizens and it has invested in education, finance/economics and trying to build a contemporary society. Yet, inequality does exist, Singapore is an expensive place to live due to the high cost of living and there’s an unhealthy reliance on a working long arduous hours.
How government handles racial riot:
Singapore PAP: Racial harmony day
Malaysia BN: I tak tau, jangan sebut lagi
In a country where there are minorities.. racial judgement wil still be exist.. (black people in america, asian people in australia, chineese people in malaysia/indonesia) humans will always be human, no matter how high is the society.. there still be a people who makes racial judgement.
Very true that everywhere have bad eggs, that’s why country Leader need to set and educate the people to be rational and not do stupid things and be respectful to others, always treat others the way u want others to treat you.
The same people with primitive thinking and acting on emotions.
Amazing achievement..

Most leaders speak of creating a multicultural nation so far Singapore has put it into action. The current US Administration should study the moves the Singapore Government did to bring this and put it into practice if they hoped to end the divisions in their society.

dan mengingatkan rakyat Singapura bahawa keharmonian antara kaum

tidak boleh dianggap remeh.
Much easier to maintain harmony when people prosper. Prosperity is the foundation of a stable society.
Singapore, New Zealand, and Belgium can do it! So can South Africa, Australia, Brazil and the US.
Belgium is bot racially harmonious as presented to outsiders. Ever been to Shaerbeek or Molenbeek?
Looks like the USA could learn from these people
We should learn from their Housing and Development Board as well as Racial Unity laws.
If USA could do the same thing like Singapore does in social harmoni life , it will create stability that will come with economics benefits , education and technology will go advance faster , and the people will unite in the name of nation not in the name of race
@@eyes7775 Imagine trying to impose any sort of personal responsibility on an American
If US does that they will be called white supreme lololll
Different country, different people; different problems, different solutions.
We Canadians want to say, we want to be like Singapore.
Great. Singapore is one of the heterogenous countries that's among the most peaceful country.
Hi, thanks for uploading this video. I will be conducting a "Study Abroad" short course, "The Making of Modern Singapore" for a group of 15 US undergraduates during the period 28 Sep - 2 Nov 2023. I would like to have your permission to play this video in one of the discussion sessions. Thanks!
Carrot-Stick policy applied with efficiencu and effectiveness.
In Singapore, govt wants all people to English.
In india govt wants all people to learn hindi.
True I don't know why they actually want to that, if for uniformity we can actually use English very well
More harmonious than other countries that have genocide and police brutality towards others. Looks like what really needs to be improved in Singapore is addressing the issues in a respectful way
One love one people one unity
Singaporean politicians strive for equality.
Malaysian politicians prioritise entitlement.
Chinese immigrant privilege in XinJiaPo is something they just dont put on paper but practice it
They didn’t come to Singapore they were brought to Singapore coolies
The question was who brought them. The coolies brought themselves from China, some as indentured labourers, some borrowed from relatives to buy passage , some came via Thailand , Vietnam .
The point is the Chinese were not traded slaves.
@@tenga3tango yes but it is a way to absolve colonialism. They were bright all over se Asia to exploit their labor for commodity production like rubber. It was to benefit European colonizers
I think the reason Singapore is doing well is because it's a city-state of 5 million.
Their relative small scale makes their policy work.
And that doesn't apply to largger countries like the US.
Exactly!!! USA is so diverse one solution isn't going to fit all, the current state of red vs blue is also divisive and doesn't help make any progress in solving problems.
Malay = Waterbenders
Chinese = Earthbenders
Indian = Firebenders
Singapore is the real life Republic City!
There's Eurasian too. 4 main ethnicities.
Without Mr Lee, there is no Singapore. What a great man. Forever remembered in the hall of fame of the history of humanity. Majulah singapura, rip
*Singaporean government entrenched multiracialism in its major national policies to encounter racial and cultural tensions*
_india and South Africa left the chat_
Lky said it. His speech applies now..
Singapore 🇸🇬 is really trying.. Nice one Singapore
This is like the hyper version of South African socio policy.
@Danny Archer
I'm South African, and I'd like to point out that you are engrossly biased.
_"Racial tensions between minorities and Blacks today are far higher than than they ever were during Apartheid."_
That is one hell of a distorted perspective you got there ou. And is a clear indication of the lifestyle and environment that you _"minorities"_ typically live in, and those are _"ethnic bubbles"_ .
You live in your suburbs and on your farms, hidden-away from South African, with limited interaction with _"Blacks"_ , that you have developed this distorted view of what is happening in South Africa.
Which explains the _"we don't want to ruled by Blacks"_ sentence you've just spewed.
It would be insightful for you to know that NO ONE in South Africa -unless wealthy, or well-connected, has any say in executive government.
ANC supporters are the bottom rung of power, then you have ANC officials, then ANC elite, and alongside them, are the "MINORITY" multi-millionaires and billionaires that have them on a regular payroll.
You should understand that, regardless of whether you agree or not, BLACKS still do have it harder than "minorities" and those are facts.
But "Blacks" do not have a functioning system for them to get out of this struggle.
You _"minorities"_ have A LOT of well-to-do individuals in your communities. You AT LEAST have more leverage for economic independence that can loosen the clutches of bad governance experienced by all of us, so my advice -use it.
And this is assuming -by the way, that you're an Afrikaner and middle class.
But I will give you credit in providing a more apt comparison than I did. It was insightful.
@Danny Archer "we don’t want to be ruled by blacks" welp, that took nothing
@Danny Archer
Put a space within your _"facts"_ genius. UA-cam won't detect it then.
@Danny Archer you are in Africa and you have a problem with blacks,you guys must go back to Europe.
@@nkululekomfono4739 jesuuus that sentence sounds so icky doesn't it
We did this thing called: caring for the people
Hello from Vietnam, I visited Singapore once and really like the place for this reason 😊
hmmm ... so the death penalty, multiple national exams and streaming of children from as young as 10, making homosexuality illegal, banning demonstrations.. all that is CARING. you would make an amazing parent.
@@wolfblade7596 well most of what you mentioned are undemocratic but that of homosexuality it's not much of a concern because it's not part of their culture and probably they are not interested in making that part of their culture/way of life, lgbt is mostly your western problema and not the rest of the world's problem your just trying to enforce it to others.
@@wolfblade7596 What is wrong with national exams???
@@wolfblade7596 so what they have their own rule don't like it leave it
Tq America. We SG adopted your policy on how to equally treat the native Indians. Such policy is well received by the native Malays here.
When I was in Singapore I asked my local guide if there is a difference in income between the three different ethnic groups from Singapore. He told me that it wasn't and they are all equal.
There is should not be, but there have a few cases where companies have done that and the government step in for investigation. It does happen, just not often and usually people are extremely vocal against this stuff.
same income, different opportunities.
Hope that Philippines Learn a lot from Singapore.
on ethnic integration matters? ph is actually already doing better from the start on that front than singapore or malaysia. everyone regardless of race or ethnicity in the philippines is filipino and not subdivided into any races and the country is already multi-ethnic from the start, which the non-native ethnicities have all historically melded and integrated with, courtesy of spanish colonial assimilationist policy. if u ever noticed, ph government does not ever take any ethnic or race based census. both philippines and thailand are the same in this regard. the only major social distinctions are social-class-based and possibly a little bit on religion too for the few muslim majority regions
@@xXxSkyViperxXx yeah i agree we have a stronger national unity as we all identify as filipinos but thats just running over the fact we overwhelmingly vote regionalistic and there are ethnolingual divisions, though i agree not as worse as what did singaporeans experienced, but we shouldn't ignore it could happen given we did have a literal conflict in the 70s between christian panay migrants and ethnic moro muslims in mindanao therefore the peace is still fragile. The fact Marawi siege, zamboanga siege and ethnic violence during bangsamoro plebiscite proves this
@@charlemagnethegreat2916 thats the religious divide i mentioned at the last part, stroked by jihadist extremist wahhabi ideas from saudi arabia. social class division is another big one especially why communist guerillas and leftist movements are present or in hiding when they popped up in the cold war era. the racial ethno-lingual religionalistic mindset might be ripe to fester more, spreading from what people hear in other countries these days tho, but the historical social tensions in ph are mainly social class and religion. the regionalisms are a more recent growth that gets people these days to bring up ideas of federalism and mother-tongue school education. all these issues, people learn from abroad
When Malays wanted to deprive ethnic Chinese, it backfired. Singapore became most progressive and Malays had to crawl back to Singapore to work....
When chinese try to deprive malays out of Singapore it backfire the chinese too with their lowest TFR. Why? Stress😆
Funny how some Singaporean and Malaysian fight in the comments.
Brits: we did it boys. Keep entertaining us with all the fights. Love it.
Brits did what? Create different races, nationalities, and ethnicities?
@@timurermolenko2013 Kinda,doesn't that is what divide and conquer means?
@@explosivemodesonicmauricet1597 tension between Chinese and malay goes back to medieval era, much before brits arrived
@@pooper2831
The chinese are small minority probably less than 1% before British arrive. It was British who brought huge amount of chinese.
Singapore without LKY would have been like a car without its wheels
Myanmar need to learn from them.
This aged really well
Think in Singapore the races don't also have as strong of a sense that the country is a cradle/origin of their respective races & resultant cultures, way of life etc., which might then theoretically weaken their desires to make the country be more centred based on their own individual races, which then makes it easier to have more racially neutral policies e.g. choosing English as our 1st language, practicing secularism (since some religions are more common in certain races)
myanmar has no government. they had a coup, its a military dictatorship errected by the communist chinese.
@@86Corvus how does the CCP got into this?
@@86Corvus Maybe its result of the sufferings of Rohingya people.
Wish you guys a better day.
It also help tremendously if you're a city state
That's so true... The problem with race is that people are afraid of something that they don't used to see / know. It's easy for Singapore to demolish any ethnic enclaves and relocate them into new public tenement
@@kaptenhiu5623 Singapore's probably too small & highly built-up for geographical divisions to form more easily e.g. between different towns & regions
It is a Minimilist Country for all Country in the World to be Harmonious in all aspects.
I wish Kenya would have done this after the 2007 post election tribal violence.
Great PR video. As someone who lived in Singapore for years, I have faced racism on a daily basis. If you are an Indian, 8 out of 10 house owners will not want to rent to you. If you try to speak to someone on the street asking for some help, you will receive a very bitter look. But you can see how they treat a white guy in exact same situations to know how racist they are. My daughter came from school many days and said no one will speak to her as she is darker. Over the years, I have been given many lame excuses as to why they behave that way by my Chinese colleagues, but every one knows it is racism.
Multiracial harmony will forever be a work in progress. Racism can't be removed completely, but we can at best stem it and minimize it as much as possible, be it through education or regulations. If you want to just base it on singapore's context, then yes i see why you're bitter from your experience and i am sorry for that. But I'd advise for you to look at other parts of the world. Racism here no longer escalates to the level of claiming lives, but that's not the case elsewere in the world. You'd fear for your family members all the time. And in case, you think my words don't mean anything, I am myself an Indian, with many friends from different races.
@@angievlogs3407 well said. We Singaporeans, whether Indian, Malay or Chinese root for one another. We have a shared Singapore history and identity. Unfortunately, recent immigrants from PRC, India and the Philippines are reticent about assimilating into the local culture and practise discriminatory hiring practices. My local Indian friends are very upset about the discriminatory behaviour they encounter with Indian PRs and immigrants. Likely due to the caste system, they look down on our local Indians which is just deplorable. So you can't fault Singaporeans who don't approve of such behaviour. I have personally seen how Indian PRs are so uppity that they refuse to hold the lift doors for incoming passengers as they think it's beneath them. They bring to Singapore their caste system beliefs and are very class conscious. I stand in support of my fellow Indian citizens.
I'm curious, what did Filipinos do to Singapore? Is this just plain discrimination based on background or something more?
This is the one and only thing the Malaysian government WILL NOT accept nor will they change. Deemed "sensitive issue" not to be talked about. Unwilling to relinquish the "malay and bumiputra" privileges.
The goal post changes all the times but who is the goal-keeper with the line-men of no foul plays.
8:03 - Who else thought of Falcon and the Winter Soldier!
hope every government solve the problem this fast like Singapore
This happens when govt. Actually do their respected job...
Take notes, world
1969 was a bad year for Malaysia too... same as what happened in Singapore too
Indonesia also have hundreds of culture, languages, and religions. We have achieved stability and economic growth based on dictatorship of Seoharto, now after restoration of democracy in 98, we see that ethnic tension, religion intolerance, etc is rising. So that raise a question, should we prioritize stability over democracy? I believe Singapore also have some restriction in democracy.
To be fair, monopoly of Power by Soeharto making Indonesia Corruption Skyrocketed.
competition barely happen because goverment gave monopoly to Chinese Billionaires and Army Foundations.
Economic Inequality where less than 1% have 99% wealth, it affecting Indonesia till these days.
Democracy atleast get us to make our Leaders accountable
Yes. Democracy don't work for everyone. But at the same time, Singapore is a less complicated country.
Are you talking about the same Indonesian dictator that ethnic cleansed some ethnic Chinese people in the 60s ?
